Okay, so Part 2 is going to be split, because it's gotten quite a bit longer than I expected.

Now that you've made it, how do you dress like it? (Or if you're in a creative field, how you can just skip straight to the good stuff.) Here is the first two sections of part two:

2.1 Shirts: Bespoke is a value leader oddly enough.
2.2 Ties: Contrary to popular wishful thinking, still alive.

Charles Tyrwhitt Sale
